TRB Webinar: Beyond Volume: Investment Prioritization Methods for Low-Volume Roads
TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, August 29, 2018, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM ET that featured research from the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s
Synthesis 521: Investment Prioritization Methods for Low-Volume Roads.
This webinar identified current practices used by transportation agencies to make investment decisions about low-volume roads. Low-volume roads can be at a disadvantage within traditional investment prioritization processes that focus on volume-based metrics of benefit and impact. However, low volume roads can also create significant value for the wider economy and society, providing basic access to remote communities, ensuring connectivity for industry to a global economy, and supporting economic development opportunities. The presenters discussed prioritization approaches that go beyond standard transportation asset management or engineering-type measures, to those that account for broader economic, social, and environmental implications of low volume road projects.
The slides are available. Contact Reggie Gillum at rgillum@nas.edu for a copy of the recorded webinar.
